not n reasons, there are at least n+1 reasons!

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

The jsp passes a filename and the servlet reads data from the Database
and stores the result set data in the xml file (the file name is passed from the jsp page)

The servlet cannot find my xml file
and displays the following error while trying to execute the servlet

type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

i need to know where the xml file is to be placed so the servlet will be able to access it and write the data into it.

Found the solutiion

Sep 24th, 2007

i have used FileOutputStream and PrintWriter to create a xml file

i am using eclipse and the file gets stored in the eclipse's bin directory

the jsp page passes a file name to a servlet

and the servlet uses the FileOutputStream and PrintWriter to write the data from
Result Set using the below code

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//Document mapDoc;
//Document dataDoc=null;
String XmlFileName=request.getParameter("filename");
System.out.println(XmlFileName);
FileOutputStream fout;
PrintWriter pw;
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();

fout=new FileOutputStream(XmlFileName);

pw=new PrintWriter(fout);

Connection con;
Statement st;
ResultSet rs;
ResultSetMetaData rsd=null;
//Element DocRoot=null;
String query="select * from StationaryRequest";
try {
Class.forName(DbConnect.getDriverName());
con=DriverManager.getConnection(DbConnect.getDsnName(),DbConnect.getUid(),DbConnect.getPwd());
st=con.createStatement();
rs=st.executeQuery(query);
rsd=rs.getMetaData();
// DocRoot=dataDoc.createElement("StationaryDb");// add a docu root
pw.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
pw.println("<StationaryDb>");
out.println("<StationaryDb>");
while(rs.next())
{
//Element row=dataDoc.createElement("Stationary");
pw.println("<Stationary>");
out.println("<Stationary>");
for(int i=1;i<=rsd.getColumnCount();i++)
{
String colName=rsd.getColumnName(i);
String colType=rsd.getColumnTypeName(i);
System.out.println(colType);

String colValue="";
if(colType.equals("varchar"))
{
colValue=rs.getString(i);
}
else if(colType.equals("int") ||colType.equals("statLogId"))
//here statLogId is a userdefined data type created in sql server
{
colValue=rs.getInt(i)+"";
}
else if(colType.equals("float"))
{
colValue=rs.getFloat(i)+"";
}
else if(colType.equals("double"))
{
colValue=rs.getDouble(i)+"";
}

//Element DataCol=dataDoc.createElement(colName);//write a columnname
pw.println("<"+colName+">");
out.println("<"+colName+">");

//DataCol.appendChild(dataDoc.createTextNode(colValue));//write a value to the column
pw.println(""+colValue+"");
out.println(""+colValue+"");

pw.println("</"+colName+">");
out.println("</"+colName+">");

//row.appendChild(DataCol); //adding the column to a row
}

//DocRoot.appendChild(row); // adding a row to a xml parent root
pw.println("</Stationary>");
out.println("</Stationary>");
}

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
System.out.println("class");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SQLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
System.out.println("sql");
e.printStackTrace();
}

//dataDoc.appendChild(DocRoot);
pw.println("</StationaryDb>");
out.println("</StationaryDb>");
pw.close();
fout.flush();
fout.close();
System.out.println("The Result Set is written into XML File");
}

r u using JDBC ODBC bridge for establishing Connection with MS SQL Server. If that's the case, then you need to modify ur web.xml file in WEB-INF folder. The Context tag should be something like the one given below:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

<<Context docBase="Wims" path="/Wims" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.server:Wims">
      	<Resource name="jdbc/WimsDs" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
      		   factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
               maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000"
               username="" password="" driverClassName="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"
               url="jdbc:odbc:WimsDs"
               removeAbandoned="true"
               removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
               logAbandoned="true"/>
      </Context>

You'll have to replace the Wims with your Specific requirements. And you'll have to figure it out what you need to change. I was using javax.sql.DataSource here to connect to MS Access. If you're using DriverManager then probably you've to research more....

Also, you will require resource ref tags. Please put them in proper order otherwise some exception might occur.

<resource-ref>
		<res-ref-name>jdbc/WimsDs</res-ref-name>
		<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
		<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
		<res-sharing-scope>Unshareable</res-sharing-scope>
	</resource-ref>
